THE SALVATION OF THE WORLD,
THEOLOGY OF THE INVISIBLE HAND
Miguel Martinez
For years, some ecologist brings out the reasoning that, if every Chinese had the car would be the end of the world and are years that some progress contends that the Chinese have right to the car as the Italians.
As the two discourses operating on totally different levels - the first on the scientific, the second in that of morality - is difficult to say who is right.

Giampaolo Visetti wrote about Republic un articolo (uscito il 7 dicembre, ma ce lo segnalano solo ora) intitolato, trattenete il fiato:

“ Oltre 800 mila famiglie guadagnano 1 milione di euro l’ anno, 65 mila cinesi possiedono un patrimonio superiore ai 10 milioni e nelle metropoli vivono 950 mila individui con un reddito annuo pari a 2 milioni. Ma ciò che conta non è che in Cina si concentra il secondo numero più alto di miliardari: è che 250 milioni di cinesi hanno uno stipendio annuo di diecimila euro e che il 5% della popolazione viaggia oltre i tremila al mese .”
E questa minoranza di cinesi (perché restano pur sempre fuori oltre un miliardo di pezzenti) ha deciso di consumare più di ciò che produce:

Speak Mandarin but also high fashion, footwear and accessories top, temples d 'art and truffles, the trade in diamonds and gold. Who dreamed reflected today on the washing machine 'screen width of the 3D plasma TV and the mutation is so fast that even the dominant brand in the Western middle class are losing ground. In Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, as in the wealthier districts, purchase luxury already out of fashion. The 'cult image is that of Tian Mingqiao, importing coal from Inner Mongolia, which under the' eye of the cameras parks Bentley rose between his two yellow Ferrari in the center of Shenzhen. Enter a six-star hotel and after a 'now his companion comes loaded with bags, explaining that he had spent $ 45,000 on shoes and $ 51,000 in caviar, oysters and lobsters. " "Nothing famous - Tian says - none of which possess all cheap. Compro-only logo, unique pieces, made to measure '. "
